This is the first serious model I have done after 3-4 years of playing with blender. About three weeks ago I was reading The Martian and, loving space, decided to model something space related. So here it is, NASA’s new Freight Ship for in-system transport!
The front part of the ship is actually a detachable shuttle.
The transport uses a powerful engine to accelerate to a respectable speed. Still, it needs a lot of storage pods for fuel in order to efficiently travel the solar system.
The transport uses solar power to keep non-essential systems online, and a large communication dish allows it to communicate with any station in the solar system!
Note that this design is not really my own, I just Google’d “colony ship” and used one of the resulting images as a guideline. Here is the image I used as inspiration:
There are some things I still want to improve on, but otherwise I think it turned out okay.
